The Yamaha MusicCast 50 is a beautiful all rounder for your living space

The speaker was the talk of the Festival Of Sound

Yamaha’s MusicCast 50 was the talking point of the recent Festival Of Sound. As a solid, mains plug-in speaker it ticks all the boxes and is fully future-proofed to bring your flat screen's films to life and also has your Spotify, Tidal or Deezer accounts built in. It’s even compatible with Amazon’s Alexa.

We road tested the sound with Daft Punk’s 'Random Access Memories' and the sonics were punchy, direct and unclustered. In a large space the sound was still full, clean and crisp. It could fill the Mixmag office with sound easily.

As part of Yamaha’s MusicCast series, all 50 from the series can be linked into a multi-room system to stream tunes throughout your home. Link it to the smaller MusicCast 20, the MusicCast SUB 100 or even Yamaha’s wirelessly connectable deck, the MusicCast VINYL 500.

Available in black or white and easily synced with any Bluetooth or AirPlay devices this is a beautifully-curved all-rounder.

Get the Yamaha MusicCast 50 for £449. The smaller 20 model is £199 and the sub is £399. The Vinyl deck is £549 - all available from uk.yamaha.com
